Chapter 263: Secret Discussion

Liu Shouyou stepped forward quickly, bowed over with his hand, and said: "I can see that Henghai Gong is here, and I have peace of mind." ”

It turned out that the pair of master and servant was none other than Zhang Whale and his brother Zhang Xun.

Zhang Whale, in terms of appearance, is "not as famous as meeting", not only thin, but also sunken eye sockets, looking like a little sleep deprivation.

However, his younger brother Zhang Xun looks quite handsome, except for being slightly shorter, he can be regarded as a beautiful son. This person's nickname is a bit unremarkable, and he is called Zhang Wulao - apparently he is doing five things at home.

Zhang Whale is his second brother, and he is the eldest. And "Henghai Gong" said that it is naturally Zhang Whale.

Henghai is the word taken by Zhang Whale after entering the palace at the age of five and reading in the inner study. This word was given to him by his "godfather" Zhang Hong in the palace, which is exactly the meaning of his name "whale".

Liu Shouyou looked flattering, but Zhang Whale's face was not very good, the big eunuch handed out a two-finger-wide note from his hand to Liu Shouyou, and sighed: "Today, in order to avoid the limelight, I went to Taiqingguan in Nancheng in the afternoon to hang out, and by the way, I asked for a sign, which doesn't seem to be very auspicious." ”

Liu Shouyou originally thought that he was showing him some inside information, who knew that after saying such a thing, he couldn't help frowning a little, but he naturally couldn't offend Zhang Whale at the moment, so he had to take the note and unfold it.

But I saw four lines of poetry written on the note: "I don't believe in wild fox Zen in my life, and the endless wind and clouds are roaring." Who can solve the sudden frost and snow, and the quicksand is a thousand miles away. ”

Liu Shouyou's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "But I don't know what to do with this sign?" ”

Zhang Jing raised his eyebrows: "Our family has only studied in the study for six years, which can be regarded as literate, and it is understandable that we can't solve this sign." But Liu Dudu, you are a family scholar, can't you see the meaning of this? ”

Liu Shouyou was not angry, but smiled self-deprecatingly: "If the lower official reads well, he will not be mixed with brocade clothes." Then he said: "The deep cold of spring is not over, please cross the sea for kilometers, let's talk slowly." ”

"It's fine." Zhang Whale was not polite, and walked towards the main hall as he spoke, and Zhang Xun followed behind him without leaving an inch.

Liu Shouyou also entered the main hall and sat down with the Zhang Whale brothers, and then picked up the topic just now and said: "The first two sentences of this sign seem to be tigers, bold and bold, and swallowing thousands of miles. However, these two sentences are just the promotion of first and then the suppression, not the point, the focus is on the second half. The frost and snow came suddenly, and there was no doubt that something bad would happen, but the method of avoiding disaster given in the sign was incomprehensible...... Thousands of miles of quicksand is Xiongguan? I don't know what that means. ”

"Unsigning is a craft job, and not everyone can solve it, because sometimes it doesn't necessarily mean literally." Zhang Whale waved his hand and said: "Meng Zhenren in the view said that this signing is a sign, and he explained: There is misfortune in occupying oneself, the villain is in charge, and it is difficult to win the lawsuit; The wealth is broken, the fields are not ripe, and the chickens and dogs are plagued; It is difficult to marry, the disaster is shining, and marrying is not good...... In a word, be careful about everything. ”

Liu Shouyou felt frustrated when he heard this, he didn't like it in his heart, and frowned: "Is this method of relieving misfortune just about the word caution?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Whale waved his hand and said: "The real person also said that the way of heaven is constant, and the week is not lost, otherwise it will be natural." Therefore, although it is not good to sign a lot, there are also desperate ways to survive, and eventually become a way to sign up. ”

Liu Shouyou's heart moved, and he asked, "But I don't know how to do it?" ”

Zhang Whale shook his head and said: "Of course our family also asked, but unfortunately Meng Zhenren said that this sign was given by Qiu Zhenren himself, the son of Changchun in the past, but Qiu Zhenren said at the time, 'The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is nine', so he only taught the lottery, but did not teach to solve the misfortune, and he couldn't teach me." ”

Liu Shou said in his heart: Then what's the use of you showing me this thing?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Whale continued: "Having said that, Meng Zhenren still mentioned it slightly, saying that this solution to the sign and the misfortune also depends on the person, and there will always be different solutions for different people. ”

Liu Shouyou asked, "What is the explanation of this?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "You think, ordinary people are nothing more than things in the fields and gardens on weekdays, the so-called things should be careful, firstly, don't be careless and hurt yourself, and secondly, don't hurt others, so as not to ruin your wealth." But if it is a nobleman, this sign is much more difficult to solve, or you have to be careful of making mistakes, or you have to be careful of villains framing, or you have to be careful of flying disasters. But in the final analysis, although the danger mentioned in this sign is ever-changing, the way to solve the misfortune is always in the sentence 'A thousand miles of quicksand is a male pass', and he advises us to think carefully about this sentence after we come back, where it should be, who, or what. ”

Liu Shouyou was tired in his heart, and said secretly: Zi Bu is strange and confused, I asked you to discuss things, but you are talking about these nonsense words of gods and gods, do you still have to go to Yumen Pass to dig some sand and come back to pay tribute, only to feel that your heart is down-to-earth?

Fortunately, after Zhang Whale finished talking about this, he finally turned the topic back, took a sip of the fragrant tea he had just delivered, and said: "What happened outside the palace today, the little cubs have already told our family, and Liu Dudu must have invited our family over for these things, right?" ”

"Henghai Gongfa's eyes are like torches, and Shouyou is indeed asking Henghai Gong to come and give some guidance for this reason."

"What can we point me to?" Zhang Jing shook his head and said: "When our family told you about yesterday's incident, we didn't want you to make such a storm in the city, but you didn't say a word and made such a big move, and our family didn't know what to do...... You should know that Huang and Chen have been in charge of Dongchang for many years, and their power in the palace is also greater than ours. The left and right were leaked last night, is it difficult to investigate?

Liu Dudu, if it weren't for our family to know your attitude, just what you did, our family should doubt your position. ”

This accusation is not light, Liu Shouyou quickly explained, and then said: "Xiaguan just can't understand one thing now, it stands to reason that after the emperor knows the news, he should be thunderous and angry, but now he is still gentle and pragmatic." But if his trust in Gao Pragmatic is indeed completely unshakable, there are some doubts...... Why hasn't there been another 'strict order' on Wong Siu-lung? ”

Zhang Whale said lightly: "Do you know what you did the most wrong thing about this? ”

Liu Shouyou frowned secretly, but his face looked sincerely frightened, and he bowed his head slightly and said, "Please also ask Henghai Gong for guidance." ”

Zhang Whale snorted lightly, shook his head and said, "You know that the emperor takes great care of his younger brothers and sisters, so I thought that if the emperor believed that there was any personal relationship between Gao Pragmatic and the fourth princess, the emperor would be angry." Because in your opinion, it is natural that the fourth princess has suffered a loss, and the reason why the emperor should be angry is for this reason.

But have you ever thought that even if the emperor really thought that there was a personal affair between the two of them, so what? Could it be that the fourth princess ran to cry to the emperor, saying that Gao was pragmatic and insulted her? No. Since there is none, it means that the fourth princess has not suffered a loss, maybe she is still enjoying it! In this situation...... If you were the emperor, would you jump out and make a thunderous fury, and the world would know about it? ”

Liu Shouyou was stunned for a while, and said in disbelief: "But such a scandal ......"

"I said Liu Dudu, are you stupid to read? Don't even know that your family ugliness can't be publicized? Zhang Whale's face was gloomy: "Let's just say so, you have to expect the emperor to be thunderous and angry, just like this, it is far from enough." ”

Although Liu Shouyou was scolded, Zhang Whale's second half of the sentence made him forget the anger of being scolded, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Zhang Whale snorted lightly and said: "The emperor has always felt guilty about the surrender of the fourth princess, he will not care if there is indeed a personal relationship between the fourth princess and Gao Shishi, even if there is, the emperor will definitely turn a blind eye, and whoever tells him will 'not believe'."

But there is one exception, that is, to catch the traitor and catch the double, and arrest him in front of outsiders, so that the emperor can't pretend not to know. Only at this time will the emperor have to 'thunder and rage' and give an explanation to the people of the world. And this confession, it is difficult to say how the fourth princess will be for the time being, but is it pragmatic...... I'm afraid most of them will die. ”

Liu Shouyou suddenly realized and admired again and again, but soon his face became sad again, and he said: "Henghai Gong is honest, but this matter is not very easy to handle." Thinking that the four princesses are widows, except for Ciqing Palace, Cining Palace and Kunning Palace on weekdays, they only stay in their Changchun Palace to study, worship Buddha, and grow vegetables. ”

Zhang Whale shook his head: "You ask our family, who will our family ask?" ”

Liu Shouyou frowned deeply, biting his lip and falling into thought.

And Zhang Whale said: "However, our family thinks that you don't have to 'make it' in this matter, just pay close attention to it - it is very likely to come true." ”

"Come true?" Liu Shouyou was stunned and said, "Henghai Gong is saying...... Will they really? ”

"The fourth princess was interested in Gao pragmatic a few years ago, this is not a very secret thing in the palace, the original love poetry incident, there are always more than ten or twenty people who know, although the Empress Dowager Cisheng has given a gag order, but you also know how difficult it is to seal in this palace except for the dead."

Zhang Whale continued: "And what you did this time, our family thinks that there is probably an unexpected benefit, that is, it may make the fourth princess feel that the emperor spoils her very much and will not care about some of her private affairs." ”

Liu Shouyou's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Henghai Gong said that the fourth princess may be proud of this pampering, and it is really ......."

"A woman of her age is the moment when the heart of spring is stirring...... Now that the queen mother of the two palaces has returned to power, if the emperor doesn't care about her, she will be a Gao Yang, and our family will not be surprised. The problem now is that Gao Pragmatic doesn't seem to be a greedy woman, and he is a foreign officer, and this return to Beijing is just an unexpected thing, if he doesn't take the bait, it will be troublesome. ”

Of course Liu Shouyou understands this, after all, whether it is Zhang Whale or he, Liu Shouyou, the motive for these things is not to bring down Princess Yongning, their goals are all high pragmatism, if Gao Pragmatism does not take the bait, they will naturally be busy in vain.

In the final analysis, Princess Yongning is just a weapon or hidden weapon that they have found that can deal with high pragmatism.

"Henghai Gong is very worried." Liu Shouyou nodded, and said tentatively: "Then do we want to push one or two from it?" ”

"If there is such an opportunity, then it should, of course, but this kind of thing, where can we start?" Zhang Whale touched his chin, which didn't have a beard: "And don't forget what our family just said, you have to find an opportunity that the emperor can't hide." As long as this thing happens in the palace, even if there is a palace maid to testify, it is useless, if you are in a hurry, do you think the emperor will not dare to kill?

Only when something happens outside the palace can we have the opportunity to make a big deal and make the emperor unable to suppress it - it is easy for the emperor to kill a few palace maids to seal his mouth, but it is much more difficult to kill a few civil officials or something casually. ”

Liu Shouyou nodded, as if talking to himself, and as if to say to Zhang Whale: "That is to say, we have to let the princess come out of the palace, and then go to have a tryst with Gao Shishi, let's arrange it again, it is best to let a group of civil officials 'chance' to break this adultery, this matter will become an iron case, even if it is the emperor, it can't be overturned." ”

"The idea is the idea, but it's not easy." Zhang Whale sighed: "First of all, we have to make the fourth princess willing to leave the palace, and secondly, we have to make Gao Pragmatic willing to meet with the fourth princess in private, and finally let the two of them really go out of bounds...... Otherwise, if you arrange a group of officials to break the adultery, but the two of them are like what the emperor said today, 'the palace door is wide open, the inner servants are all there, and the palace maids are serving, and there is nothing to overstep'. That's better for Gao Shishi, at most, the fourth princess was pretended to be reprimanded by the emperor, which is meaningless to us. ”

Liu Shouyou nodded, the difficulty was naturally difficult, but he still began to ponder the feasibility.

Who knew that at this time, Zhang Xun interjected and said, "Second brother, Liu Dudu, I don't think this matter is so difficult." ”

Liu Shouyou and Zhang Whale were both stunned, and looked at Zhang Xun at the same time, Zhang Whale said: "If the fifth elder has any ideas, you might as well come and listen to it." ”

Since Zhang Whale said so, Liu Shouyou naturally had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Xun said: "Didn't the second brother say just now, since the fourth princess has long been interested in Gao Shishi, then today's emperor's attitude may make her feel that it is a kind of acquiescence." Second brother, Liu Dudu, you also said that Gao Pragmatic's visit to Beijing was an accident, so the fourth princess also knew that Gao Pragmatic might not be able to stay in Beijing for long this time, so would she also want to seize the time to meet Gao Pragmatic to comfort her lovesickness? ”

Liu Shouyou's eyes lit up and said, "Ah! If the fourth princess is willing to leave the palace, this matter will be half done. ”

Zhang Whale also watched how Feng Bao was overthrown by Gao Pragmatic back then, so he was obviously more jealous of Gao Pragmatic, and he was not particularly pleased when he heard this, but asked: "It's barely half, but how to get the other half?" Is Gao Pragmatic willing to continue to have a private meeting with the fourth princess after such a big thing has happened today? Even if you are willing, or it is inconvenient to refuse, what is more troublesome next is how to make them really do something, not to mention that we have to calculate the time of 'breaking the adultery' accurately enough...... Do you have a way to get someone who is so pragmatic and so cautious to do something out of the ordinary? ”

This question, Liu Shouyou couldn't help but nod, Gao Pragmatic is indeed very cautious, and judging from his past performance, he is not very interested in women, expecting him to do the fourth princess on impulse, which seems unreliable.

Who knows that Zhang Xun smiled and said: "Gao is pragmatic and cautious, the fourth princess may not be cautious, especially if there are still people around her to pick up the ......"
